Characters

Everyone thinks Lady Virelle D'Argent is here to cause chaos.

Raised by a terrifyingly ambitious mother, blessed with noble blood, and dressed like a villain in a romantic tragedy, Virelle was expected to destroy reputations, steal the spotlight, and seduce the most powerful man in court.

She had other plans.

Specifically: naps. Quiet corners. Avoiding conversation.

But in a world where everyone's playing a dangerous social game, Virelle's refusal to play is the most unpredictable move of all. And when the cold-hearted duke's heir starts spending time with her - not for strategy, but for peace - things begin to unravel in all the wrong ways.

She's not scheming.

She's just tired.
